Trump, Bannon Melt Down As Fox News Turns On MAGAWorld - The Beat - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Fox News is turning on Trump and it appears many Republicans are too. He has not been on their airwaves for over 100 days and they have ignored his recent speeches. Now, MAGA loyalist Steve Bannon is blasting the network for snubbing Trump in favor of rivals like Mike Pence. Bannon saying Pence is a “loser” and a “coward” and wonders why Fox News has “a thumb on the scale” for him. The Washington Post reports many Republican voters do not want Donald Trump to run again. - Aired on 08/04/2022.

1. As we all know, Trump became POTUS as a result of media coverage.

Ratings and money talk.

2. You're sure right about that!

He had absolutely no qualifications, but he was obviously a ratings winner, so it was his face on the screen in place of legitimate candidates. I quit watching news, decided I'd tune in again when the campaign was over, and we know how that went. Even now, his ridiculous antics - and his mounting legal issues - regularly lead the news.

4. We have to see behind the ridiculous antics; they help build the pro-strongman voter numbers.

Media have to know what they're doing and help voters see what these antics mean when they show these people.

Joy, Mehdi and Velshi do that.

6. They certainly do - and I'd add Lawrence O'Donnell to that list

3. The funk encrusted one...

Sounds like a whiny-assed snowflake.

[Justice matters.]

5. Two disgusting, traitorous "fall guys" heading to the slammer soon...

Losers, both.
